Summary:
Kylie Galen's life hasn't been the same since her world was turned upside-down in Born at Midnight, Shadow Falls #1, and now an epic conclusion to her journey—not to mention a tough choice between two guys!—is brewing in Chosen at Nightfall:
When Kylie Galen left Shadow Falls, she thought it was the hardest decision of her life. Heartbroken and separated from everyone she loves, she has to embrace her abilities and what it means to be a chameleon. But as Kylie's journey comes to a close, she must return to the camp that started it all… and she must finally chose between the two boys who love her. The werewolf who broke her heart when he chose his pack over her, and the half-fae who ran from their intense attraction before they ever really had a chance. For Kylie, everything will finally be revealed and nothing will ever be the same.
Review:
*sigh* I'm so sad to see this series end. Although there will be a spin-off, I'll really miss Kylie, Lucas, and Derek. Usually it's so common to see a series fall apart after a few books but that isn't an issue with this one. I never once debated putting any of the books down or not continuing on with the series. C.C. Hunter did a tremendous job piecing together this world and, in the end, allowing each character to grow and find their own peace.
In this book, Kylie finally knows what she is and what exactly being a Chameleon means. As the book starts, Kylie is coming back to camp after leaving in order to find out more about herself and her family. She knows where her place is now and she looks forward to facing her reality.
I felt that Kylie showed amazing strength and courage in this book. She knows what issues she will face with Lucas and I loved that she doesn't always just fall back in his arms. She really shows how a strong, confident girl can stand up to people and make someone work for their love. Lucas really has to prove to her how much he loves her.
I was wondering how everything would come together for this final book and I was so pleasantly surprised. We still have some twists and turns but I couldn't have been happier with the outcome. For once, after finishing a series I felt sad to see it end, but still completely satisfied with the results. I won't go into too much detail in case you haven't read the previous books but as someone who reads a lot of books, and a lot of paranormal, I'd really suggest picking up this series. Each book is a nice, well-formed read with an engaging plot and outstanding characters we learn to love with each page. I definitely plan to read more from C.C. Hunter!
